a couple issues 86 caprice

As someone stated before in the thread, 5 X 5 wheels can be found, a lot of Chevy/GMC trucks used wheels like those. Just check to see how wide a wheel & tire will fit on the wagon, some of the custom wheels on trucks can be really wide. Almost anything off an Astro van will work as they are usually not too wide.
One my Custom Cruiser the fronts are from an Astro with 225/70/15, the rears are truck with 255/70/15, for a wider look. The center caps I use are aftermarket truck caps (from E-bay) with the molded in fake lug nuts, I needed to get 1/2-20 thread lug nuts with the biggest heads I could find and have to bend the locking tabs out to make them fit tighter.
My avatar has a pic of my car, & it's in the gallery also. The other people on this site have been a great help to me & I'll try help others out too.

 

I bought 5 used 5x5 rims for $100. Had them sand-blasted and powder-coated, and installed studded Firestone Winterforce tires.
Im having trouble finding center caps though. These have 5 bolt holes and my police rims have 3. I thought I'd just swap them over but no go.
Anyone have any 5-bolt caps?

 

i have been thinking about the styled steelies that came on like the 454SS but finding them is not so easy.

 

i found a new issue today. went to take off and it stuttered before taking off. this happened not once but every time i went to accelerate. i have not noticed anything like that before with this car. now my mercury, yes. the caprice, no. its weird. she has been running smooth as glass for the last 3 weeks. and now this. any ideas????

 

You don't say where you live, but if its cold country, you might have to add gasline anti-freeze - one small bottle per tank is usually enough.

 

If it's a carburator engine I'd say bad accelorator pump. But, isn't it fuel injected?

 

Nope, should have the e-q-jet

 

Nope its carbed. 307 with a q-jet. How hard is an accel pump to replace in a q-jet???
